Thanks Mary.

I noticed on my e-mail posting updates that you were considering reading 100 books this year? WOW that would be amazing!

Maybe not so amazing...I have 3 months vacation!

Mary Todd wrote: "Maybe not so amazing...I have 3 months vacation!"

Wow. I would love to have a nice long vacation. :-)

I just got off a week vacation and I read three books during that time. It was fabulous! However, I did get my sleeping schedule all messed up. Now I want to stay up late and read but I have to get up early for work! Grrrrr....

ahh...those summer nights I keep reading and reading...pretty much makes up for whatever the middle schoolers can do to me during the year!

The Sorceress, Michael Scott

I really get annoyed sometimes with books in a series because I now have to wait a whole year for the next one tom come out! Grrrrrr.

25.
The Girl Who Could Fly, Victoria Forester
A very cute tale.

HALF WAY THERE!!!! WOO HOO!

Congratulations on 25 books Lissette!
I practice the same vacation schedule you do; up late reading and sleep late the next day!

Thanks Aprile! It feels good to be in the middle! It was a really good book. I am curious if they will make another. Either way I hope she writes more. Now on to more reading! :-)

Enjoyable and informative read. :-)

Lots of Action! Hard to put down at the end!

A very riveting tale of friendship, loss, redemption and love. It was hard to put down.

30.

Super intense! Lots of action and some surprising twists.

20 more to go!!!

31.

Good read. Harsh but fair. Don't read if you love meat....unless you want to join the ranks of us vegetarians!

32.

The Time Travelers Wife was a good read. I need to be reading shorter books though if I am going to make it to 50 by the end of the year. Stinking work!

33.

Another action packed, suspenseful, funny and great addition to the Dresden Series.

34. New Moon

In the spirit of this movie coming out soon I thought I would give this a second read.

35. Breaking Dawn

Long but good. These books really suck you in! 15 more to go! :-)

36.

Grandfather
Tom Brown Jr.

This was a great read. I had read this one many years ago and I really enjoyed reading it again. This book really gets you thinking about the reality and spirit of things and how we needs to protect the mother earth. A very enjoyable read.

37.

Death Masks
Jim Butcher

Another excellent read! Suspenseful and hilarious at parts.

38.

Catching Fire

I read this one so fast! It was an excellent sequel to the Hunger Games! Loved and devoured every page! Now I have to wait a year for the last book in the Trilogy AHHHH!

I was looking through my other 50 books list and I realized that I missed two books in a series I have read! YIKES! That means I am up to 40! Woo Hoo Almost there!
Here they are:

39. Club Dead, book #3 of the Stackhouse Series.

40. Dead to the World, Book #4 of the Stackhouse Series.
